Hi all,
this is the fixed, updated and rebased version of the PV on HVM series:
the series is based on 2.6.34 now and supports Xen PV frontends running
in a HVM domain, including netfront, blkfront and the VIRQ_TIMER.

The list of bugs fixed in this update includes: xenbus drivers crashes
when xenbus is not properly initialized, a memory corruption bug in
suspend/resume and testing for the xen platform pci version and protocol
has been moved to enlighten.c (before unplugging emulated devices).

In order to be able to use VIRQ_TIMER and to improve performances you
need a patch to Xen to implement the vector callback mechanism
for event channel delivery.

A git tree is also available here:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git

branch name 2.6.34-pvhvm.

Cheers,

Stefano
